Nadia Waheed, Omira, 2019

A soothing Easter Sunday soak, courtesy of Saudi Arabia-born, Austin-based artist Nadia Waheed, who features in our recent round-up of rising women artists who paint women. “[This work] is breathtaking at first glance,” writes Emily Gosling of Waheed’s peaceful wallower. “It’s no less so as you take in the artist’s deft use of colour and light-touch linework to render curves, pubes, breasts and the sense of stillness that floating in a body of rippling water brings.” Learn more about Waheed’s deeply personal practice and discover the other painters included here.
